Joensuu Airport is in Liperi, outside Joensuu, and serves North Karelia. It is useful for a city visit and for onward journeys into the region's lake and forest landscapes, including destinations north of Joensuu.
Regional public transport connects the airport with the city. A taxi or rental car can be more suitable for accommodation away from the main routes. Check the full journey to a national-park base or lakeside cottage before booking activities, as the airport transfer is only the first part of the trip.
